We’ve already discussed the importance of having strong golf legs in order to provide consistency and power in your golf swing.
It’s also critical to make sure that all the muscles of your lower body are flexible enough to prevent limitations and cause unneccesary swing faults and over-use injuries.
Just how much hip and leg flexibility and mobility is needed for optimal golf?
Well, we don’t need to turn you into Gumby or Fred Astaire… although the video below is pretty damn cool:
In today’s video blog, I’ll show you several ways to increase the quality of the tissue in your legs and hips using a foam roller and a tennis ball.
Done consistently over time, your muscles will feel and perform better for you on the course and in daily activities.
Dancing on the driving range is optional….
You can get your very own foam roller HERE
Work out those knots in your legs, get some pep in your step… And get after Old Man Par!

Hey love the stretches. I have plantar factsis (sp) and stretch a lot of ways but the golf ball is a new one. Thank you as maybe I can get this pain to go away.
Hey Rick. As an ultra-runnner in a past life, I have delt with PF more than I care to remember! The most productive methods for me and my clients have been the golf ball, ice, not wearing heels (even male dress shoes), the sock at night (http://thesock.com/) and accupuncture, along with consistent stretching. Keep me posted and let me know if I can help in any way.
Hey thanks for the info. Have something similar to the sock but can’t stand it. Sock looks better an more comfortable. Will have to get one. I will be doing much more stretching and golf ball much more. Thanks for the info and I will keep you posted.
I am interested in all your golf and exercise programs. Thanks
